Practical strategies for managing construction cost escalation


It’s harder than ever to estimate and forecast changes in construction costs. Especially with growing inflation, impacted supply chains, geopolitical challenges, reduced access to materials, and up-ended scheduling.

In this guide, we will cover:

  • How to leverage your pro forma as a dynamic tool to monitor costs and manage risks

  • How to properly assess construction cost escalation by asset type, trade and market

  • How to build trusted relationships with project partners
